I am using the custom dcjq-mega-menu jquery plugin (jquery.dcmegamenu) and I want to put some text above the menu and some tabs below it but its adding a margin around the whole menu...I'm using the custom example which is available here..

http://www.designchemical.com/lab/jquery/demo/download/custom_mega_menu_styles.zip

I am trying to get the text to appear just above the menu with no gap. There seems to be an issue when using

as soon as i put that bit in then it creates this extra margin above and below the menu.

Extremely fed up with it now, need your help guys....
